Wed, 19 Mar 2014 20:55:44 +0000http://www.joebucsfan.com/?p=109527#comment-3381260Does this surprise anyone? They’ve been cheap for better than a decade now, this is nothing new.

Many of you guys fall for the never ending stream of off season signings, and point to that as proof that the Bucs spend with the best of them. But when the rubber meets the road, it’s all just a shell game – they cut other players, and those guys rarely get mentioned or considered.

They’re about right where I expect them to be when the season starts. They’re going to cut or trade away more salary, and then sign their draft picks.

The Bucs will absolutely be a bottom ten spender in 2014, just as they’ve been for a long time now.

It’s just the way these guy operate.

If I were a Buccaneer writer, I’d lead off every article with, “The Tampa Buccaneers, who are 17.8 (or whatever the number actually is) under the salary cap this season, have just announced . . . ” It’s only fitting.

Good reference for tracking the cap. We’re at 8.8 before the long snapper, so 8 mill give or take. Apologies for the link post Joe, I only wanted to put this here so people like pick6 don’t start the “we could have kept Revis” argument up.

Bottom line: the accuracy of all of these are in question, from OverTheCap.com and others, especially now when things are in flux. –Joe
